five words for you: dungeness crab and cheddar omelette. it will rock your effing world, my friends.
okay, okay. so neil's probably reminds you of the place your grandparents would take you for breakfast. it's decidedly retro without trying to be. but it's delicious and reasonable and chock full of personality.
and hello? dinner comes with free bread pudding. how can you argue with that? -

I've been to Neil's a few times recently, and though I try to manage my expectations to match the place (knowing its not high-end fine dining), it still has been disappointing to me.
Breakfast was okay, but the potatoes are pretty plain and I kept having to get up to ask for stuff from the waitress--ketchup, napkins, more coffee--even though I was only one of three tables in the place.
I went their more recently for dinner. I had the meatloaf with the standard sides and a salad; I asked for the gravy on the side. I had higher expectations I guess because Neil's boasts that is now buying local beef.
The salad was okay. When the meal came, I first tasted the gravy and was very glad it was on the side. I was basically salt with a few other things to make it appear like gravy. It was inedible.
The meatloaf tasted sweet (probably from tomato paste) and salty (probably from more salt), but it did not taste at all like meat--they could have used tofu mixed with sawdust for all that it would have mattered to the taste of the meal. The part of the meal I think I enjoyed the most was the side of carrots and the mashed potatoes, sans gravy.
There are not all that many food choices on Whidbey that are worth visiting, but even with that, I don't think I'll be heading back to Neil's anytime soon, unless by some strange fate, my family doctor says I'm dangerously deficient in salt and need to load up! -

My rating isn't based on the "ambiance" of the place...It a good place to eat without spending a lot of $$. Breakfast is always good, lunch is always good...had a few dinners that I wasn't excited about but hey I've been there a lot! The staff is friendly and do a good job keeping you taken care of. Oh and the bloody marys are the best on the south end, we actually did a test one day...Not a fancy place but you can actually take a family of 4 out without breaking the bank.
